Millie Bobby Brown made an unexpected comment about her relationship with 'Stranger Things' co-star David Harbour after rumors abounded that she'd put in a complaint against him to bosses.
The 21-year-old actress, who plays Eleven on the show, is reported to have filed a harassment and bullying complaint against her 50-year-old co-star
As reported by the Mail on Sunday, Harbour had reportedly faced an internal inquiry as a result of Brown's complaints against him, which did not include any allegations of sexual impropriety.
A source told the outlet: "Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season. There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months."
Representatives for Brown and Netflix declined to comment on the allegations, with a source adding: "Netflix will never comment on an internal investigation, but the fact they've not denied it speaks volumes.
"Stranger Things helped put Netflix on the map. Millions of fans around the world have been anticipating the finale. No one wants anything to take attention away from that."
Despite the claims, Brown and Harbour put on a united front for the cameras this week as the pair attended the show’s Season 5 premiere Thursday night.
They were seen embracing and appeared at ease in one another's company, and Brown even heaped praise on Harbour during a red carpet interview.
Speaking to Extra, she called reuniting with Harbour, who plays her on-screen father figure Jim Hopper, "amazing".
She added: "We’re so lucky to have each other. The show means so much to the both of us and to everyone here."
Brown continued: "This has been the last 10 years of our lives. We’ve dedicated a lot of it, and we’re so excited to see that come to screen."
Despite the pair seeming at ease together, body language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail it was "overkill", adding: "Millie and David are shown in two key moments here: apparently meeting up while he is signing autographs for the fans and then during their set poses on the carpet.
"Both times there seems to be a mutual intent to show a playful style of cheery friendliness."
Describing their enthusiastic laughter during their interaction, James explained: "His second quip receives what is almost an overkill response from her as she suggests she is helpless with laughter, again with her eyes closed and mouth open and her right hand placed onto her rib area as she giggles loudly."
